Things to celebrate
- This week we re-launched ‘Freddie’s Focus on the Stars’. It was wonderful to see so many of our students being recognised for their efforts and successes in their subjects.
- A very successful week with our PE fixtures this week:
- Y9/10 girls football squad played 4 games and won 4 games against Lowton on Wednesday.
- Y10 boys beat Didsbury 2-1 in the 1st round of the county cup on Monday.
- Y7 boys won the team building activities at Pennington flash on Tuesday.
- The Y9 boys and Y7 boys football teams have played and represented the school brilliantly this week.
Homework and Self-directed study
We have six types of homework which we set in order to broaden, consolidate and enhance your child’s learning. Each week we will share with you one of the types of homework.
Please see below for this week’s ‘Apply it’ examples and our reason for setting this type of homework task (click to enlarge):
Satchel One
You can keep track of your child’s homework using Satchel:One.
Homework Club
Please remind your child that homework club is available to all students Monday-Thursday in the Library (apart from Monday week B) where support and IT equipment is is available.
GCSEPod
We would also like to take this opportunity to remind all parents and carers of Y10 and 11 students that we have access to GCSEPod which is an online study platform. We would like all of our KS4 students to sign up to this and reap the benefits of it. Your child will have received an email from Mr Singleton about how to log on. Please encourage your child to do so. For further information, click here.
Personal Development
The next character trait that we will be focusing on is Resilience. This is particularly important as we move towards the latter end of this half term and students start to get tired. If students are resilient, they will be able to overcome adversity, keep going with high levels of motivation, and they are more likely to succeed. Being resilient takes time to develop and can only be achieved by pushing through challenging situations. Key information on ‘being resilient’ is included below.

Message from the Headteacher
Dear Parents and Carers,
This has been another positive week in school with so many students being recognised during our Freddie’s Focus on the Stars. As we approach the end of the half term, next week’s form time sessions will be focusing on student self-evaluation. Students will complete self-evaluation booklets which encourage them to reflect on all their achievements this half term. This does not just mean performance in lessons; it is also an opportunity for students to reflect on their involvement in extra-curricular activities and their positive contributions to the wider school and community.
Regards,
Mr Davies.
